I'm also using today's SVN on Gutsy. I'm showing something closer to
what you want. "1720 Items, 6.3 days, 7GB". There was recently a
discussion about how to break out the days, hours, etc. stuff here on
the list. I think gabaug stated that the decision had been made to
stick with the current decimal point idea to save space for other
items in the status bar area or something like that.

If we can figure out how to replicate your results, then it seems like
we have a bug to report. I wonder why I don't have something like
that? It seems highly unlikely that 6.3 is an exact number and not
rounded.
